# TanStack Query
TanStack Query (`@tanstack/vue-query` v5) manages server state. It supplies caching, background refetches, and cache invalidation.
Use TanStack Query for all data that comes from an API. Do not use a manual `ref()` and `await` pattern.
A TanStack MCP server is available. Use `tanstack_doc` or `tanstack_search_docs` when you need API details.
## Setup
`apps/frontend/src/plugins/tanstack.ts` configures TanStack Query as a Nuxt plugin. The plugin supports server-side rendering (SSR) hydration.
The default stale time is 5 seconds. Get the `QueryClient` with `useQueryClient()` or `useAppQueryClient()`.
`useAppQueryClient()` also operates in middleware.
## Queries
Use `useQuery` with `api-client` to get data:
```ts
const client = injectModrinthClient()
const { data, isPending, isError, error } = useQuery({
queryKey: ['project', 'v3', projectId],
queryFn: () => client.labrinth.projects_v3.get(projectId),
staleTime: 1000 * 60 * 5,
})
```
Use the query state in templates:
```vue
Loading...
Error: {{ error.message }}
{{ data.title }}
```
### Query-Option Factories
For a query that multiple components use, define a query-option factory in `packages/ui/src/queries/`:
```ts
// composables/queries/project.ts
export const STALE_TIME = 1000 * 60 * 5
export const STALE_TIME_LONG = 1000 * 60 * 10
export const projectQueryOptions = {
v3: (projectId: string, client: AbstractModrinthClient) => ({
queryKey: ['project', 'v3', projectId] as const,
queryFn: () => client.labrinth.projects_v3.get(projectId),
staleTime: STALE_TIME,
}),
members: (projectId: string, client: AbstractModrinthClient) => ({
queryKey: ['project', projectId, 'members'] as const,
queryFn: () => client.labrinth.projects_v3.getMembers(projectId),
staleTime: STALE_TIME,
}),
}
```
Use the factory in each applicable component:
```ts
const { data } = useQuery(projectQueryOptions.v3(projectId, client))
```
### Conditional Queries
Use a computed `enabled` value when a query depends on other data:
```ts
const { data: members } = useQuery({
queryKey: ['project', projectId, 'members'],
queryFn: () => client.labrinth.projects_v3.getMembers(projectId),
enabled: computed(() => !!projectId.value),
})
```
## Mutations
Use `useMutation` for create, update, and delete operations. Invalidate related queries after a successful operation:
```ts
const queryClient = useQueryClient()
const client = injectModrinthClient()
const createMutation = useMutation({
mutationFn: (name: string) => client.archon.backups_v0.create(serverId, { name }),
onSuccess: () => queryClient.invalidateQueries({ queryKey: ['backups', 'list', serverId] }),
})
```
Use `createMutation.isPending.value` to disable buttons during submission.
### Optimistic Updates
Use an optimistic update and rollback when a mutation needs an immediate UI response:
```ts
const patchMutation = useMutation({
mutationFn: async ({ projectId, data }) => {
await client.labrinth.projects_v3.patch(projectId, data)
return data
},
onMutate: async ({ projectId, data }) => {
await queryClient.cancelQueries({ queryKey: ['project', 'v3', projectId] })
const previous = queryClient.getQueryData(['project', 'v3', projectId])
queryClient.setQueryData(['project', 'v3', projectId], (old) => {
if (!old) return old
return { ...old, ...data }
})
return { previous }
},
onError: (_err, _variables, context) => {
if (context?.previous) {
queryClient.setQueryData(['project', 'v3', projectId], context.previous)
}
},
onSettled: () => {
queryClient.invalidateQueries({ queryKey: ['project', 'v3', projectId] })
},
})
```
## Query Keys
Use hierarchical arrays for query keys:
```ts
// Resource type, version or qualifier, and ID.
['project', 'v3', projectId]
// Resource type, ID, and subresource.
['project', projectId, 'members']
['project', projectId, 'versions', 'v3']
// Domain, action, and ID.
['backups', 'list', serverId]
['tech-reviews']
```
Use `as const` for type safety. Put stable category segments before reactive parameters.
TanStack Query uses key prefixes during invalidation:
```ts
// Invalidate all v3 project queries.
queryClient.invalidateQueries({ queryKey: ['project', 'v3'] })
```
